Here is a clock.
The long blue hand is pointing to the 3, which is a quarter way round, so the time will be 15 minutes past or a quarter past.
The short red hand is pointing between the 5 and the 6, so the time is:
quarter past 5 or 5:15
Here is another clock.
The long blue hand is pointing to the 9, which is three-quarters of the way round, so the time will be 45 minutes past or a quarter to the next hour.
The short red hand is pointing between the 3 and the 4, so the time is:
quarter to 4 or 3:45
